Bone loss and stress markers in implant gum disease
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at markers of bone damage and stress in people with gum disease around dental implants (peri-implantitis). It aims to understand how the body responds, which could help improve treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old and generally healthy.
- You have a dental implant that has been in place for at least 1 year.
- The implant has signs of gum disease, like bleeding, deep pockets (≥5 mm), or bone loss (≥2 mm on X-ray).
- You are not a current smoker, and have not smoked in the past.
- You have not taken antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, or steroids in the last 3 months.
- You do not have diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, or osteoporosis.

This study looks at how bacteria in your mouth change when all your teeth are removed and replaced with dental implants. If you have severe gum disease and need all your teeth extracted, joining this trial could help researchers understand your healing process.
This trial studies signs of inflammation and tissue change around dental implants (especially in people with peri-implantitis) compared with people getting implants in healthier gum/bone areas. It may help doctors understand what markers to look for to better monitor or treat implant problems.
This study examines gum and bone health around dental implants that have been in place for at least 3 years. Researchers want to understand how to detect and prevent problems around implants, which could help improve long-term implant success.
This trial looks at specific proteins found in the gum tissue around dental implants. The goal is to understand how these proteins may be linked to inflammation in people with peri-implantitis, a condition that affects the gums and bone around implants.
This study looks at how often gum inflammation (peri-implant mucositis) happens around dental implants in people who previously had gum disease and are now in maintenance care. The results may help clinicians spot risk earlier and improve oral care around implants.
This study looks at the genetic and bacterial profiles in gum disease and implant infections. It might help find new ways to diagnose or treat these conditions.
